Fernando may have taken some time, but he has clearly shown that he is a better center than Eugene at this point. If we can one day add at least one solid guard, he will only get better._________________Props to mike23md on the sig

Hell, by the time that happens, it will be time to add two solid tackles. Stewart and Roos aren't spring chickens anymore.

I was real impressed by Otto on Sunday actually. Considering he went up against Freeney most of the game, he really held his own. Was expecting much worse to be honest._________________Props to mike23md on the sig

On the other end of the spectrum, there were 12 linemen with 500 or more snaps played who did not give up a sack (by my count) during the season. With the exception of Giants tackle Sean Locklear, the rest of the group was all centers and guards.

No. 6 on that list of 12? You guessed it._________________Props to mike23md on the sig

They're only 30. Linemen play well in to their mid to late 30s. We're fine with Roos and Stewart for the next 6 or 7 years.

Neither one of them played great last season. Why would we want to keep playing them as they degrade for 6-7 more years? I saw Roos get burned by the speed rush wayyyyy more than he ever has been before. Maybe not this offseason, but the next, we need to start drafting young tackles early.

I disagree. The first couple weeks they were terrible, but so was the entire o-line. They improved as the year went on and eventually got back up to their usual pro-bowl level of play. Roos especially. The 2nd half of the season, Roos looked like an all-pro. Hopefully Stewart can recover back to 100%.

Agree to disagree. Of course, in this situation, I would much rather you be correct than myself.

I suppose it could be that the rest of the o-line after all the injuries looked so bad that Roos looked like he was an all-pro.

PFF apparently has Michael Roos as the 3rd best tackle in the NFL this year...but their grading system has never been very accurate, so I'm not sure if that should be trusted.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce the release of Fernando Velasco. While he may no longer be a Titan, this fan club will remain open for all of us to pay our respects to the best Titans center of the last four years.

Why he was released, no one knows. We gave a far, far inferior center years to drag the team down, yet we replace a quality starter simply out of foolishness.

Let us sit back and enjoy what Fernando inevitably ends up doing in another city, though hopefully one in the NFC.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Glad I found this thread for a few good laughs. You have made me a believer in dominance that is Velasco. As an absolute world beater I hope he considers bringing his immeasurable talent to GB.
